花時鐘 / The Flower Clock

花時鐘（位於釧路市）從JR釧路站往幣舞橋的方向的話就在正面可以看得到。花時鐘位於幣舞公園的斜坡上，從道路的圓環交叉路那邊就可以很清楚的看到。是釧路市的象徵場所之一。從1980年設置以來，一年有4次會輪流更替栽種三色堇或是菊花等當季的花朵。花卉的觀賞期間是從到5月到11月左右為止。The Flower Clock (Kushiro City) is located on a easy sloping bank in Nusamai Park. When walking from JR Kushiro Station to Nusamai Bridge, you will see the big clock in front of you. The clock looks down on the traffic circle, known as a roundabout in English. In Japan, roundabouts are rare. The Flower Clock is one of Kushiro's landmarks, as photos taken here are often used in travel guides. The flowers are changed four times a year, over the period starting in May and ending in November. Flowers such as pansies and chrysanthemums are used to match the season. The clock was constructed in 1980.
